September 2013

Easy

Here is one dish you will want to save!! This is huge favorite at our house! This is a dish that can pretty easily be customized to fit the likes or dislikes of every family member.

Want chicken? Go ahead and add it! Want more veggies? Just add them! We used turkey bacon to make it a little more healthy, you could also do a whole grain pasta and egg whites only. And voilà! you have a super healthy dinner for your family! Or you could take this in the opposite direction and make it super delectable it's really up to you! You get the point... this dish is like "mad libs" in a bowl, mix and you can match any ingredients you want.

Ingredients:

:: 1 package of linguine pasta

:: 2 egg whites

:: Half a package of bacon

:: 1 cups of mushrooms (optional)

:: 1 cup of Grated Parmesan Cheese

:: Pinch of ground pepper

Directions:
